STATEHOUSE (April 25, 2025) – "The General Assembly officially concluded the 2025 legislative session today, and I am pleased with all that was accomplished this year. In addition to passing all of the Senate Republicans' top priorities, we also passed the new state budget for the next biennium. Despite receiving a concerning revenue forecast earlier this month, our budget leaders crafted a responsible, balanced state budget to support Hoosiers in 2026 and 2027.
"I also championed several pieces of legislation aimed to improve health care accessibility and affordability, including bills targeting Medicaid costs, the 340B Drug Pricing Program, certificates of public advantage, physician noncompete agreements and prior authorization. These initiatives will help Hoosiers throughout the state receive more efficient health care services at reasonable prices.
"I look forward to spending time this interim in our local community to hear from my constituents directly and working with my fellow lawmakers to continue finding ways to make Indiana a better place for Hoosiers to live, work and play."
